I'll be very interested to see how the Dogs go this afternoon/evening. If they go back to pantsing the opposition and winning by 10 goals of free flowing hollywood handball, I'll think less of them than if they're challenged and can actually grind out a victory when it's not all going their way.

Crowd at the blues v WC game is horrible. 

thought it was in Melb for a minute!

Out of interest were they mixing in a bit of "canned crowd noise" on Friday night.

The background murmuring etc just sounded fake at times.

The scoring reactions sounded accurate.

This game looks like it's being played in slow motion.

Just what I was about to note 

and no one seems to be energetic or enjoying themselves apart from Eddie Betts

Carlton has a couple of players that are going to be coach killers imo- Paddy Dow and Zac Fisher. Maybe add Jack Martin and Zac Williams. The Zac Williams trade was insane. Please play him in the midfield when we meet again.

I love the 3 rule changes that have opened the game up. 6-6-6 formation, 15m back from kick ins, and stationary man on the mark. General play is so much better to watch.

But some of the basic kicking skills in many games are absolute rubbish. Freo v anyone, Pies v Crows yesterday, Eagles v Blues today. Really bad watching sub standard skills.

Not a fan of the commentary team not being at the ground.

I am a fan of having good commentators. Where they are doesn't really bother me.

This game is sooooo dull. I switched over to watch a show about people with OCD. Far more interesting. 
 

Looking forward to Freo letting me down as per usual, but will be barracking hard for them.

The best part of the Carlton v West Coast telecast has been the ads for Four N’ Twenty Pies. 

I could handle one right now WJ.

This game is the old fashioned curtain raiser before the big one. The jump in quality will be like in the old days.

Are there crowd number restrictions at SCG or is that all up there who have any interest?

IF crowd number restrictions then why crowd those in the one spot?

This is something that mystify's me as well. They were all in one area at our game on Friday night.

Only conclusion, it is about the cost and not the risk.

this is carlton's third rebuild since the late 90s? first malthouse top up era, then judd era, now cripps era

reminds me of the mfc era when the watts / $cully / trengove era didn't work and we had to go back and develop again with salem / trac / brayshaw / oliver

they should let cripps walk as a free agent and get the first round pick they [censored] away on saad back

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
